UAE VAT Calculator. Add or Remove 5% VAT
"UAE VAT is charged at a standard rate of 5%. To add VAT, multiply the net amount by 1.05. To extract VAT from a VAT-inclusive total, divide by 1.05, or multiply the gross by 5/105, which is 4.7619% of the total, not 5%."
UAE VAT Essentials
Registration: mandatory once taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 in 12 months; voluntary from AED 187,500.
Zero-rated vs exempt: exports, international transport and some healthcare and education are 0%, while most financial services and bare land are exempt. The two are not interchangeable for input-tax recovery.
Tax invoices must show the TRN, the VAT amount in AED, and the rate applied for each line.
